A Religious View of Evolutionary Advantage

Many religious people do accept evolution and reject the fundamentalist arguments of biblical truth and creationism. For the religious person who accepts evolution, the evolutionary advantage of spirituality explains how spirituality is passed from generation to generation, but not why.

For the religious, man has been given a spiritual ability in order to access the truth. Man has been given a means of experiencing God, whatever they envisage God to be. The religious rationalist will also point out that instinct in any species exists because it matches up to reality, and that spirituality is no different in this respect.
